So Ed Sheeran has fewer current top 40 hits in this chart than the official one. Looks like Overpass Graffiti will be staying ahead of Perfect for a while and return to the chart soon after all.

 

Good to see some sales/estimates. Surprised SGU is only 10th for the year after all those weeks in the Top 10, but that's the illusion of ACR.

Sorry I didn’t mean to post all the backing stuff! I’ve been doing weekly YTD Top 40 on HavenForum for anyone who’s on that. I’ll do one for the end of Q1 next week but seeing as you’ve asked here is this week’s. :) Positions courtesy of UKChartsPlus as ever.

with three quarters of the year left I guess Peru could overtake Bruno for the year-end chart then? though I suspect we haven't heard the year's EOY #1 yet.

The EOY #1 is out on Friday, step forward Harry Styles xx

 

(hey let me dream)

with three quarters of the year left I guess Peru could overtake Bruno for the year-end chart then? though I suspect we haven't heard the year's EOY #1 yet.

That’s looking pretty likely the way Bruno is tanking, unless there’s some sort of Encanto 2nd wind.

It must have been close between 6-11 here. On the Audio Streaming chart, Heat Waves has equalled its #6 peak on its 65th consecutive week in the top 100, the last 61 of which have all been in the top 50:

 

Heat Waves: 65 weeks (w/e 14/1/21 - 7/4/22)

99-82-80-63-47-35-38-32-28-29-29-28-31-26-28-28-25-25-24-33-39-36-38-34-37-36-35-44-33-36-29-32-35-36-18-18-9-7-8-6-6-7-7-8-9-8-22-25-31-39-47-49-6-11-13-10-10-10-10-8-7-7-8-7-6

^ Indeed, and Heat Waves could in fact be #9 or #10.

Update for week ending 14 April:

 

I’ve added markers for anything climbing in the YTD Top 40.

It surely won’t be long until Perfect is back in Ed’s top 3, even if OG makes a brief reappearance the week after next.

Overpass Graffiti has been much more stable than I would have predicted originally, I'm sure it'll get a week or 2 back on the charts before Perfect takes it over (it's felt weird having charts without Perfect and Shape Of You but the latter might not even appear at all this year with Ed's consistency with BH and Shivers and rumored new solo album)

Surely BMW would be above Where Are You Now considering it took the dance chart #1 this week. Unless there's some difference in the ratios in the dance chart compared to the "official" chart.

So that's 7 Ed Sheeran songs in the current top 40. (Peru would have peaked at 2 not 3 btw).

 

Given that Overpass Graffiti had its single push 6 months ago and has only just fallen behind Perfect, if 2step has similar longevity (a big if) and Bad Habits and Shivers continue to hold up, we could see Perfect locked out of the official chart for the whole year - and yet still make the EOY top 40 or 50.

I should caveat that Overpass Graffiti falling behind Perfect in my estimates is a bit of a guess and it’s only due to Perfect and some other old songs suspiciously leaping up the Video Streaming chart!

How many weeks would Bad Habits spent in the Top 10 without ACR?

41 and counting. :o

Still some way off Someone You Loved’s 51 but I think that’s now =2nd with Blinding Lights.
